The Business Administration Careers (BAC) Program has been designed to allow and encourage the acquisition of specific skills that will enable the student to enter and perform successfully in a variety of career paths within business. The student will attain focus in his or her studies by concentrating in a sequence of courses collectively referred to as an Option. There are currently five Options that exist within the Business Administration Careers Program, four of which follow specific career paths: Accounting, Marketing, Supervisory Management, and Hospitality Management. Students who are uncertain ofwhich specific career path they wish to follow should select a fifth Option: General Business.

Students are encouraged to consult with advisors before choosing any Option sequence; such a choice is often not made until the end of the student’s first semester.

* ENGL101 - A student, based on testing scores, may place out of English Composition I (ENGL101) and substitute any college-level writing course in its place. This is also the case if a student placed into an equivalent to ENGL102 at another school and was not required to take the ENGL101 equivalent. Currently there are only three options for replacement: ENGL107 Technical Writing; ENGL119 Creative Writing; JOUR120 Newspaper Journalism. ** Topics in Math I (MATH121) or higher, excluding MATH127, MATH128, MATH141, and MATH142. The program awards the A.S. Degree upon completion of a minimum of 20 courses and a minimum of 62 credits. Keyboarding competency is a requirement for graduation (see p. 40).
